Please pray for my 23 year old son Matthew’s salvation. He struggles with addiction to drugs and alcohol and we have almost completely lost contact with him.

I am trying to heal from thyroid cancer and the stress has been taking a toll on me health wise. Thank you for your prayers!
Praise Report: I was recently laid off work. I had been worried about my health insurance benefits as I have been getting treated for return thyroid cancer and have met my deductible and maximum out of pocket costs for the year. My husband who also works for the company I was laid off from was able to get it approved to have my health insurance rolled under his plan and they are crediting me for the met deductible and maximum out of pocket costs that I have already met! Please pray that the benefits transition goes smoothly on May 1st and please pray that my husbands job is protected and that he is blessed on his job. My doctors expect me to make a full recovery and beat cancer for a 2nd time! Please pray that the cancer does go completely away as it will be several more months until we know for sure if the cancer is gone. Thank you for your prayers!
I was recently laid off. Please pray that I can find a job that is M-F 8am-5pm so I can continue to attend my Sunday School class, Sunday Worship Services and my Wednesday night Bible Study class.
